a cloud passes before the moon
there is no attempt to diminish its light
theirs is a shared moment
the moon a steadfast presence
the cloud a lesson in possibilities
This poem is inspired by Merril Smith’s poem, Chance.

Earthbound Dreams
When counting stars
on a cloudy night,
find their light within.
The guidance you seek
will be found with your eyes
open to possibilities.

porcelain clouds remember
the kiss of a breeze
like the breath held in

the road opens
a slice of blue sea

clouds the islands that await
sacred place elevated

Should I be concerned?
Their temperament this season
has been erratic,
predicting their mood futile
At times, they’ve come and gone,
fleeting as a shadow
in the wind
Other times, their ominous growl
and lightning gaze
are almost wrathful
They come in packs now,
with no discernible
order or formation,
yet follow their usual path
Scattered at first,
they sweep across my view,
indifferent to my concern
They soon cluster,
seeming to cover the landscape
like a blanket
No darkness,
no malevolence
accompanies them
A light rain starts to fall,
a light breeze the last gasp
of a summer too wet
And my question is answered
